What happens here

To ensure a clean application and prevent drips, properly load the paint brush. Dip the bristles slightly into the paint, just enough to cover the tip. Then, pat off any excess paint on the side of the paint grid or bucket. As you lift the brush and bring it to the wall, rotate it to ensure no paint drips down the handle or onto unintended surfaces.

Goal: Properly load the paint brush with an optimal amount of paint, minimizing drips.

Hide

a 2 and a half gallon bucket that paint with a 2 and 1/2 in grid. And the proper proper way to start and load up your brush is we actually dip the bristles slightly into the brush and we pat it on the side of the grid or the side of the bucket. And then as we get it up to the wall, we're going to actually rotate the brush so we don't get any drips. That's how you properly load up your brush. and show you how to do the cut in
